WHEN A CHILD IS BORN
----電影《人狼之戀》主題曲
原演唱者：約翰尼•馬蒂斯(Johnny Mathis)
是美國五十到八十年代非常著名的黑人流行歌手
Ah...
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn',
This comes to pass when a child is born.
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.
A rosy dawn settles all around
You got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born.
(and all of this happens, because the world is waiting,
waiting for one child, black, white, yellow, no one knows,
but a child that'll grow up, and turn tears to laughter,
hate to love, war to peace, and everyone
to everyone's neighbor, and misery and suffering
will be words to be forgotten forever)
It's all a dream, an illusion now.
It must come true some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
當聖嬰降臨
希望之光，劃破夜空，
小小的星，點綴蒼穹。
穿越大地，復甦黎明，
都是因著，聖嬰降臨。
無聲心願，駛向七海，
幽婉的風，樹梢呢喃。
猜忌之牆，坍塌傾圮。
都是因著，聖嬰降臨。
玫瑰風韻，鋪滿全地，
你將感知，大地立定。
消磨的心，散盡孤影，
都是因著，聖嬰降臨。
橙色夢想，灰色幻象，
她必敞開，唯美心扉。
穿越大地，復甦黎明。
都是因著，聖嬰降臨。
都是因著，聖嬰降臨。
